Net::DN...r::UNIX(3)

💅 Net::DN...r::UNIX(3) — the Unix resolver class, bestie edition

Ok so real talk: this page is Net::DN...r::UNIX(3), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's the Unix-flavoured glue class for Net::DNS::Resolver. It's smol, it's iconic, let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Net::DNS::Resolver::UNIX — the Unix resolver class. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Net::DNS::Resolver;

That's the entire synopsis. One line. She said "I'm not gonna overexplain myself." Periodt. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this class is the OS-specific part of Net::DNS::Resolver — like, it's the Unix-flavoured backstage crew that handles the platform-dependent bits so the main resolver class can do its thing. ✨

Heads up bestie: there are no user serviceable parts inside 🙈 — meaning you're not meant to poke around in here directly. For all your actual resolving needs, go see Net::DNS::Resolver instead, iykyk. 🫶
